In this edition of the Writers’ Gym podcast we are joined by the award-winning novelist Gareth L Powell to talk about his work across several genres. Known primarily as a science-fiction author, Gareth has also written thrillers and fantasy. His guide for writers “About Writing : A Field Guide for Aspiring Authors” (Gollancz 2022) was described as “Brilliant” by The Guardian. In this conversation with Rachel Knightley and Emily Inkpen we discuss Gareth’s career and hear his advice for writers wishing to focus on a single genre or expand their writing into new genres.
